I am suffocated by the tragedy and strange familiarity of it all- the collision of intense dreaming with reality. The temptation to rise above reality & ignore its flaws flirts with me as well. This doomed Gatsby but will it doom me? Can my aspirations & self-creation be real or are they only a fragile dream destined to shatter once I inevitably “taste the perishable breath?”

Not noteworthy but noting it I am— I was so excited to see the word “echolalia” used. A term learned years back in college and just a word that sounds a bit like what it is. Not onomatopoeia but simply a word thats pronunciation shares the flavor of its definition (in my mind at least)

I wish I could expound further but Goodreads likes to force us into keeping these updates short and sweet. The concision of it all makes it feel quite dramatic but hopefully in my final review I’ll be able to share some more thoughts on the hopeful and healthy form of rising above self imposed limits of reality and the unhealthy ignoring of flaws and inability to embrace true wholeness in this life.
